Loved the first 2/3rds of the movie. But once the big twist is revealed it drops the central premise of the movie and goes into a different, less interesting direction. Some of it got outright silly. But the hospital scene was alright. And it's not bad enough to ruin the movie as a whole. Still pretty disappointing though. It ends as a completely different movie from what it starts off as and not for the better. Although Will Smith is great, I thought it was Jason Bateman who stole the movie. He's just great here and he and Smith work so well together. As for Theron, well I love her. She is so damn gorgeous and a great actress and to her credit she gives a perfectly fine performance. It's not her fault her character's stuff doesn't work. But her character is a big part of the reason why I didn't care much for the last third.

All in all, though I was disappointed in the ultimate direction the movie takes late into it, it was still a pretty darn entertaining summer flick. And I do like it more than the other two superhero flicks, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Unlike Jon Favreau, Peter Berg really knows how to craft a great action sequence.

7/10

really enjoyed hancock, was pretty suprised how it turned out. would like to see a sequel with a more powerfull villain though.
